Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the squash is fork tender and onions begin to caramelize on the edges.
Remove from oven. Let cool.
Put veggies into a blender along with 3 cups of stock. Blend until smooth. Pour into a saucepan and heat over low heat. Stir in the rest of the stock. Serve hot, garnish with squash seeds and fresh sage.

Bake for 10-15 minutes or until seeds are golden and slightly nutty smelling.
Notes
* I like either chicken stock or vegetable stock in this. I'd avoid beef stock.
